The Grizzly Bear Sometimes Called Mini Mom and her new cubs 2019

(See her and her 2 new cubs in 2016 here: • A Yellowstone Grizzly ... ) The Obsidian Sow (Mini Mom) (815) had 3 new cubs this year. Unfortunately, she has already lost one, maybe to a boar. We all hope she can hang on to the 2 she has now. All of this was filmed when she still had 3.

815 lost one of these three cubs not long after this was filmed to a grizzly boar. That is not an uncommon fate for grizzly cubs as males often try to kill cubs to bring their mom back into estrus. She successfully raised the other two and kicked them out in the spring of 2021. They were both doing really well but one of them could not get the hint that it needed to find its own territory. It continued to forage in its mom's territory into the spring of 2022. When 815 came into estrus this last spring she attracted two suitors. One of them killed the then 3 year old sub-adult cub who continued to stay way too close to mom. The third one hasn't been seen for a while but is believed to be doing fine. Information on the third one has been hard to come by since the floods closed the north entrance to the park in mid-June of this year. Both I and a number of my Yellowstone friends live outside of the park on the north side so we haven't been in the park much since the floods. I do have some footage of 815, her 2022 boyfriend, and the sweet sub-adult he killed. I'll get it up as soon as I can. (It won't be anything violent because, thankfully, I was not there when he killed the sub-adult.)

Such a good mother. God is a wonderful father to humans and animals.

[@tammydeboard6537]

I just found your video and I have to say I love it. Absolutely beautiful. You can even hear the little cubs trying to growl. How cute. Them playing is just so wonderful. At that point in their little lives they didn't have a care in the world. I'm still smiling. Thank you so much.

Love this atmosphere in these videos

[@JudyLehmbergEpicNature]

Thank you Tiina! Want to hear something interesting? Only about 10% of my viewers are female but if there is a nice comment it is almost from a female. Being a female myself I really appreciate that. We are the nicer sex.

Thanks for posting, watching these fluffy giant beasts in nature calms me down.

[@Patriot842]

Can sure understand why she is so protective of them.

[@jamesfreeman2258]

She's well physically, and you can tell her cubs adore her, and she them. Please update this video & tell us if all 3 cubs made it to adulthood.

[@JudyLehmbergEpicNature]

Hi James, Thanks for asking. I've lost track of the fact that I haven't updated this. See the update I pinned below.

C'est une superbe vidéo! Le paysage , la rivière et la petite famille. Merci!

[@suetripp123]

The bear cubs sure do like to play rough.. I enjoy watching bear videos.

[@ФенечкаО]

Как же тяжело и трудно маме- нужно добыть еду для деток и для себя.

[@JudyLehmbergEpicNature]

Not so hard. She eats mostly grass and there is plenty of it.

[@jessicaoppegard6578]

Very beautiful 🖤🖤🖤

[@carlosbriseno3939]

Beautiful grizzly family ,God bless them 🤞👌

[@stevejames5863]

wow. beautiful.

[@fasx56]

Fun to watch and film these bears but a Mother Grizzly with cubs is one of the most dangerous animals in the wild. Each year there are people killed or injured while hiking in Yellowstone and Glacier Parks because they met a Grizzly on a trail or got to close filming them.

[@JudyLehmbergEpicNature]

Duh! You think I don't know that? Always care bear spray.

[@AnastasiaBeaverhousn]

ALWAYS one..🙄

[@marcystarnes5511]

great film - sorry we have missed her - maybe next week

[@JudyLehmbergEpicNature]

Thanks! She hasn't been out as much since she lost that cub.

[@jessicaoppegard6578]

Judy Lehmberg awe that’s so sad 😭

Классссссссно,🌞🏞️🐻 Игруны - малыши ,😊❤🧸

[@silviazheng2008]

Is this a cow and her calves living in the zoo?

[@JudyLehmbergEpicNature]

I think you mean sow and her cubs. This was in Yellowstone National Park. They are wild grizzly bears.

[@phatxity9948]

@@JudyLehmbergEpicNature he is joking bc these are so cute

[@stebarg]

Looks like the young wear a collar. How it’s made sure they will not get hurt while they grow? Are they continuously monitored?

[@JudyLehmbergEpicNature]

No they don't. The cubs have what is known as a "natal collar" which is the light colored fur around their neck, but they don't have a man made collar. Mom had a collar the Yellowstone bear management team put on her but it fell off, which all the collars are made to do after about 3 years. They track some of the adult bears in Yellowstone, but never a growing cub who would choke to death as it grew if it had a collar. Mom also has 2 ear tags. They never fall off, unless their ear gets damaged in a fight.

[@stebarg]

@@JudyLehmbergEpicNature Thanks for the info! :)

[@tammydeboard6537]

Does anyone know what kind of bird that is? Not the crow but the other one.

[@wisconsinfarmer4742]

robin mostly

[@silviazheng2008]

She just eats grass.

[@AnastasiaBeaverhousn]

She'll eat YOU if you get close enough 🤣🤣

[@doughaga3542]

Do the Cubs have collars on them?

[@JudyLehmbergEpicNature]

No only mom. They would never collar a cub, they grow too fast and would get strangled.
